Make your next prime rib dinner Downton Abbey-style with this mouthwatering method from Mairlyn Smith. Don’t forget the Yorkshire pudding — Mairlyn shared her grannie’s recipe.
Prime rib roast
Ingredients:
- 3.8 kg Prime Rib roast
- Salt and pepper
Method:
Season roast with salt and pepper and place in shallow roasting pan without water and lid/cover. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the centre of roast, avoiding fat or bone.
Oven-sear seasoned roast in preheated 450°F oven for 10 minutes.
Then reduce heat to 275°F; roast to desired doneness. I roasted until medium rare internal temp of 140°F. My roast took about 3.5 hours.
Remove from oven when 5°F below finished temperatures.
Cover loosely with foil and let rest at least 15 minutes until temperature rises by at least 5°F before carving into thin slices.
Serves 10 -12 people with leftovers!
Yorkshire pudding
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp fat from the roast or canola oil
Method:
In a large bowl: whisk the eggs until fluffy.
Whisk in milk.
Then add flour and salt and whisk until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes.
While roast is resting, turn oven to 450°F.
Pour 1 tsp of either oil or the fat from the roast into each muffin tin. Place in oven until the oil is hot.
Remove from oven and quickly pour approximately ¼ cup of the batter into each muffin tin.
Bake for 10 minutes then reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 30-35 minutes or until the Yorkshires are puffy and cooked through.
Serve right away.
Professional Home Economist Tip: Don’t open the oven during the first 10 minutes or you will deflate the Yorkshires.
